I hate ATF
I was having an issue with my pyro probe blowing out of the manifold at higher RPM's so I ordered up new fittings directly from Isspro. Here's the result after taking the retaining nut one turn past finger tight, as per their instructions.
You can see that the ferrule has dug into the soft thermocouple and is now permanently attached. Removing the thermocouple resulted in making it unusable due to how stuck it was in the manifold.
My pyro was VERY slow to read and wouldn't go above 900F, which is why I started investigating in the first place.
Did I goof up and install the ferrule upside-down, or was this a result of over-tightening the retaining nut?
